How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Few people actually seem to keep their car in the garage, so planning a garage conversion and creating another habitable room can be a good way of gaining extra living space and enhancing the value of your home. Consider what you’ll do with everything currently kept in the garage, too. If it is full of garden tools and your lawnmower, you’ll need to factor a new garden building or shed into your plans; if it’s where you keep your chest freezer, you’ll need to work out where it can be moved to — or whether you can live without it. If you really have no room anywhere else for these things, perhaps a partial garage conversion (or a conversion that has lots of storage space set aside within it) will work better for you.

How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
The fist two things to test.. 1 has anyone else completed a loft conversion in my road?? if yes then more than likely!!
2... either give BN1 Projects or an architect a call and get them to pop round for some free advice
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
Firstly - the project will need to be drawn up by an Architect or building surveyor and set for planning if required, most loft conversions can be completed under permitted development and will only need building regs. However the architect will confirm this..
Next - will be building regs and structural.. these two pieces of work state how the project will be put together, structural calculations are completed by an engineer to ensure that the building is safe and suitable for the extension and the Building regs is to ensure all head heights and the fabric of the building is formed and insulated correctly.
Once the project has been designed correctly and all the local authority paperwork is in place than the project can be priced and planned by BN1 Projects. however before we start health and safety procedures set out by the HSE needs to be completed and explained to the client along with completing a JCT contract.

and above all I have a great team of ladies and gents that work with me!!
